Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 477

Jean had already noticed Jennifer and Nadine before they started arguing.

Nadine was her arch-nemesis. Aside from her family and Brad, no one was as deeply etched into her memory. Even from a distance, Jean could recognize her instantly.

Witnessing the heated exchange between Jennifer and Nadine, followed by Nadine's furious departure, she became curious about Jennifer's identity. So, she had Lynn call her over. Upon questioning, she learned that Jennifer was Nadine's mother.

Jean's smile widened at the revelation. "I guess I should call you Madam Stein then. Madam Stein, Nad and I are very close friends. If something's troubling you, feel free to talk to me.

"I couldn't help but notice things seemed a bit heated between you two earlier. What happened?" she enquired, pretending to be concerned for them. Her brows knitted as if she were truly Nadine's worried friend.

Jennifer, who had no idea who Jean really was, was delighted when she learned that such a well-dressed and attractive young woman was Nadine's friend. She eagerly seized the opportunity to vent all her frustrations about Nadine.

"Nad has been led astray by that old hag from the Clarke family. She used to be such a good and obedient child. It breaks my heart to see how she's turned out. Sometimes, I think it would've been better if I'd never had her at all."

Jean listened as Jennifer poured her heart out, but she couldn't help but be disgusted by Jennifer. Why should Nadine have to put up with this middle-aged woman's unreasonable demands? Was it just because she was her daughter?

Jennifer's eyes lit up when she heard Jean was willing to lend her money, as if she had just been saved by a guardian angel. She showered Jean with gratitude. "Oh, you're too kind! I wish you were my daughter! It would be so much better than having Nad!" she exclaimed while eyeing the wad of cash in Jean's hand, eager to grab it.

But when she noticed the look Jean was giving her, she awkwardly lowered her head and forced a smile. "Well, could you lend it to me first? I'll pay you back with 3% interest. Does that sound fair?"

Jennifer had been worried sick about money, and when Jean pulled out five thousand dollars that easily, she felt like she'd struck gold. Her eyes were filled with awe as she looked at Jean, and there was a certain tenderness in her gaze.
